The draft is not limited to ECS. It creates an IANA registry and allows
arbitrary "local use" values to be defined. It can already be used to
specify different capabilities for each nameserver for a zone, because
the draft also allows:

   Most zone typically have multiple authoritative servers.  Thus, the
   AUTHINFO Rdata returned from different authoritative servers for the
   same zone might differ.

If that's not correct, and all the nameservers must return the same
AUTHINFO RR, then perhaps a better name would be "ZONEINFO", all the
references to "server" changed to "zone", etc.
